Best Actor in a Drama Series Emmys 2024 Predictions & Contenders

EXCLUSIVE: RJ Malishka, Rajesh Kumar and KC Shankar are the latest Indian stars to board SonyLIV‘s political drama series Freedom at Midnight.

Zooey Deschanel does not follow trends. The 44-year-old indie queen has stuck with her quirky style since she first became famous more than two decades ago: the blunt bangs, the mod mini dresses, the opaque tights.So, when it came to choosing an engagement ring for her upcoming nuptials to “Property Brothers” star Jonathan Scott, the actress went for something retro, bold and stubbornly iconoclastic.Her Van Cleef & Arpels specimen — dubbed the Folie des Prés, or “madness up close” — features a colorful mix of purple and pink sapphires and white diamonds, clustered to resemble a trio of flowers.“It doesn’t actually look like an engagement ring,” says Sam Broekema, editor-in-chief of Only Natural Diamonds, the magazine of the Natural Diamond Council.

Netflix drama Top Boy has beaten off competition from Apple TV+’s Slow Horses to win Best Drama Series at the BAFTA TV Awards.

EXCLUSIVE: Patrick Sabongui (The Flash) and Sara Garcia (Ride) are set as series regulars, joining Melissa Roxburgh in NBC‘s new drama series The Hunting Party.

EXCLUSIVE: Oscar-winning producers See-Saw Films (The King’s Speech) are gearing up on Tenzing, about the inspirational life of Sherpa Tenzing Norgay and his summit of Mount Everest in 1953 alongside fellow outsider New Zealander Edmund Hillary.

Melissa Roxburgh is taking on a new role!

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor “Shōgun” might be creating some drama at the Emmys. Multiple industry insiders tell Variety that FX, the heavyweight contender in the Primetime Emmy race for outstanding limited or anthology series, is considering a bold move: shifting its submission for “Shōgun” to the drama series categories this year. This strategic repositioning hints at the likely return of the protagonist, Lord Yoshii Toranaga (played by Hiroyuki Sanada).

Amazon UK MD Chris Bird was among the latest group of industry execs to appear in front of the UK’s British Film & High-End TV Inquiry this afternoon, during which he revealed how much cash the streamer has invested in content from UK broadcasters for the first time.

, did. After all, hadn’t attended the California music festival since 2016, the same year that marked her last appearance at the Met Gala.This year’s gala took place three days before Swift resumes the Eras Tour in Paris and well before Kelce has to report to NFL training camp in July, so, technically speaking, it was doable.

The best fashion of the year is always at the Met Gala and the 2024 red carpet didn’t disappoint, with so many incredible looks from our favorite celebs!

Rafe Spall (Trying), Greg Kinnear (Black Bird), Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine (The Lincoln Lawyer) and Hannah Emily Anderson (The Purge) round out the ensemble cast of Firebug, Apple’s upcoming drama series, from Apple Studios and creator Dennis Lehane, starring and executive produced by Taron Egerton.

If some of the Drama and Comedy series acting categories are scrounging for legitimate nominees, the Limited Series and TV movie fields are effectively a bloodbath in comparison. At this point, there are just three actors likely to make the five and only five nominating field: Jodie Foster (“True Detective: Night Country”), Juno Temple (“Fargo”), and Brie Larson (“Lessons in Chemistry”).

Congratulations to Jon Hamm and Andrew Scott. You are more than likely earning Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie Emmy nominations for “Fargo” season five and “Ripley,” respectively.

If there is any Emmy field that is utterly wide open it’s Lead Actress in a Drama Series. Despite the decline of Peak TV, there should be enough submissions for six nominees as was the case the past four years.

Some categories are competitive this Emmy season and some categories are not. Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series certainly qualifies as the latter.

Is it possible we have a snub or even two in the Lead Actor in a Comedy Series category? The Ladies may be searching high and low for two nominees to round out the field, but the gentlemen face a somewhat more competitive race. And that’s a big emphasis on “somewhat.” One thing is for sure, last year’s winner, Jeremy Allen White, will absolutely be nominated again and is once again the frontrunner for his performance in season two of “The Bear.” Comedy legend Martin Short should also earn his third nod for “Only Murders in the Building.” Beyond those two actors, however, things may or may not get interesting.

Casting for Netflix’s reality competition series Squid Game: The Challenge was a unique challenge: finding 456 diverse and international lead characters.

It’s been over 40 years since the pioneering hip hop group Run-DMC formed in Hollis, Queens, but Darryl “DMC” McDaniels insists, “I remember everything like it was yesterday.”

The Apple TV+ docuseries The Super Models hearkens to the 1990s when four extraordinary beauties ruled the covers of fashion magazines and popular culture: Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington, Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista.

When filmmakers Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss first spoke with friends about the focus of their Apple TV+ documentary Girls State — a companion piece to their Emmy- and Sundance-winning 2020 documentary Boys State — they were surprised to hear about the expectations it conjured in their minds.
